Design and development of intelligent systems has emerged as a challenging area of research during the last two decades. The present study reports an intelligent system for auto-folding of reflectors in V-trough assembly of photovoltaic panels under strong wind conditions. Signaling was controlled by a wind speed sensor and pre-set wind speed limit, while the system software enabled automatic operation...
Photovoltaic powered reverse osmosis systems can only be made cost effective if they are made highly energy efficient. In this work we describe a protocol to maximize energy efficiency and increase permeate flux in a fully integrated installation of such a system. The improved system consisted of (i) photovoltaic array fitted with suitably positioned and aligned North–South V-trough reflectors to...
Jatropha curcas seeds are a promising feedstock for production of high performance biodiesel. The triglyceride-rich seeds are obtained upon de-shelling of dried fruit. In the present study, the empty shells, having calorific value of 17.2MJkg −1 , were utilized as solid fuel in a 15kgh −1 downdraft gasifier. Producer gas having calorific value of 5.2MJm −3 was obtained upon...
